Revises factors for determining employment or independent contractor status under certain State labor laws.
This bill revises New Jersey's standard for determining whether workers are employees or independent contractors under state labor laws. It replaces the current "ABC" test with a new framework that considers three categories of evidence: behavioral control, financial control, and the nature of the working relationship. The new standard aligns with the test used by the federal Internal Revenue Service. This change affects workers and employers across multiple laws, including unemployment compensation, wage payment rules, and tax withholding requirements. Under the new standard, the Department of Labor must consider all relevant evidence about control and independence when making these determinations.
